1996 Nissan 200SX

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN THE FIRST DAY OF SNOW DURING VERY BAD WHETHER CONDITIONS. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN, A 49.99 FEE JUST TO LOOK AT THE CAR. LEFT AND WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE WERE THEY MADE ME AWARE OF A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM AND TO GO BACK TO NISSAN FOR THE REPAIR WHICH SHOULD BE FREE OF CHARGE. AFTER I RETURNED TO NISSAN THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE MADE ME AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER ONLY FOR CERTAIN CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT WITHIN A CERTAIN VIN NUMBER RANGE BASED ON THE MANUFACTURER. IN SHORT, EVEN THOUGHT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR IT WAS NOT COVER. FURTHERMORE, THE SALE REPRESENTATIVE MADE A PHONE CALL TO NISSAN TO CHECK AND THEY WOULD NO SOMETHING ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26, 2004. I IN DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS WAS LEFT TO TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. AFTER I RETURNED HOME, I CALLED THE NISSAN NUMBER LISTED ON THE RECALL (1-800-647-7261) AND SPOKE WITH ERICA. ERICA CREATED A FILE ON THIS COMPLAINT AND ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR BUT NOT THE VIN NUMBER. AT THIS POINT I INFORMED HER THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AS INSTRUCTED IN THE RECALL ANYWAY, SHE STATED THAT THIS WAS NO SOMETHING THAT SHE WANTED ME TO DO THAT IN SHORT, THAT I COULD JUST WAIT UNTIL THE WHETHER WAS DRY AND CLEAR AND GO AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS NEEDED FOR MY CAR. *NM

THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A DIASTER FOR US SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT ON MARCH 18, 1996. WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR THE WATER PUMP BLEW UP WHILE WE WERE DRIVING IT, THEN THE CAR KEPT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING IT ABOUT FOUR TIMES AND ALL TIMES WE KEPT BRINGING IT BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER. WE ASKED TO GIVE THE CAR BACK CAUSE IT WAS A LEMON TO US BUT THEY DID NOT ACCEPT AND WE HAVE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR EVER SINCE. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF JUNK, IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION BY LOOKING AT IT YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS NEW. TO MANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE BY ANOTHER NISSAN. WE STILL OWN IT AND WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF IT. WE HAD TO REFINACE IT CAUSE THE PAYMENTS FOR IT WAS TOOOO HIGH. I WISH WE COULD BE REIMBURSED. EVERYONE WE KNOW EVEN KNOWS THE TROUBLE WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. I TRIED CALLING THE ORIGINAL PLACE WHERE WE BOUGHT IT TO TELL THEM ALL THE PROBLEMS AND NO ONE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. IT HAS BEEN HECTIC WITH THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN SITTING INOUR DRIVEWAY FOR THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN HELP US??? THE ENGINE WENT OUT ONE DAY WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK ONE DAY. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WATERPUMP THREE TIMES, THE AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT TOO EARLY AND HAD TO GET DISCONNECTED CAUSE IT COST TOO MUCH TO GET FIXED. THIS CAR IS A HEART ACHE AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANYMORE WORK DONE TO IT. NOW IT NEEDS SHOCKS. IT IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. I CAN GET PROOF FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY STATING THAT WE HAVE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME GETTING THIS CAR FIXED THAN DRIVING IT. WE HAVE HAD TO GET LOANS TO GET IT FIXED AND CAN'T AFFORD IT NO MORE.
